As Roos pointed out it was the ideal opportunity to teach a kid something, tagging/running with Mitchell. It was more than just a game gone by qtr time, our season is gone, so let's invest in teaching our blokes the patterns etc of AFL leaders? Opportunity knocked and we didn't answer.

But I suspect winning a game is about the last thing we want at present. Every time we lose a game, and get closer to having the no. 1 draft pick to use or trade, you can see SOS dancing up and down Lygon Street. If only we could be confident he'd use it to our greatest possible advantage.

Roos had an extremely negative coaching style, and has an extremely negative commentating style, which tells you something about a certain personality type. I posted an article from 2014 after the Demons copped a smacking, in which he blamed skill errors, bad execution etc. on the loss, all of which is conveniently forgotten when he, ahem.... "analyses" our game.

how many posessions did mitchell get against brisbane and they lost.It is the team and our game plan the promblem.

Our biggest problem is our zone. I saw a piece of footage that had Luke Bruest wandering around inside 50 by himself for about 15 seconds before taking an uncontested mark.

Take a gander at the Brisbane game...A. Christiansen doing a Bruest and on his own with a paddock behind him. Lions centered the ball from the boundary and there he was for another easy goal.
Not sure why we continue the zone, no one knows how to play it and its embarrassing how many times its gets broken down and we have all these uncontested goals...it must be some sort of record..

When one designs or builds a bespoke house, the two options at the very start that guide the whole process are whether you design something up to a standard, or down to a budget.

This is also Bolton's problem - does he come down to the level of his players, and accept whatever limitations this imposes, or does he set a standard, and expect his players to "upskill" and be able to play to the level required ?

There's plenty of teams that play zones.

I don't have a problem with zones, I have a problem with Bolton's zone.

It doesn't work.

I'm not buying that our players are that bad. We have a bunch of talented kids who have absolutely no idea what they're doing out there.

A couple of random articles, for your edification and contemplation :

With all of our medical issues this season, I'd like to add some more mystery to the picture.
Why the hell are our guys getting "cupping" therapy?
